Today's the day we give it up for our parents. β
I know I wouldn't be the man I am today without mine. β
β
While my parents live in South Jersey, many clients I'm working with are upsizing to accommodate their growing families and aging parents.β
β
In fact, a 2014 study showed that a record 60.6 million Americans lived in a multigenerational household, as many older adults would rather move in with their adult children instead of an assisted living or independent living community.β
β
So if your looking for a home that will fit your growing family, plus your parents, here are some things to consider when house hunting:β
β
ππΌ Before beginning your search, consider not just the home's square footage but also the layout. You might think you're getting more space, but if that space isn't useable or feels tight, does it really help you in the long run?β
β
ππΌ Before you speed forward with your upsizing plan, you should make sure the rooms or features in the larger house will actually be used.β
β
ππΌ Sure, you might think that you'll stay forever once you've found the right size home. But you might find yourself downsizing a few years from now. As with any home purchase, look at your potential new place through the eyes of future buyers.β
